Sleepy side streets, ample greenery and a strong sense of community
Laid back living in a fast paced city
Single-family homes, with a small and concentrated number of condominiums.
The comforts of home and the draw of city life
Chevy Chase was another of the early streetcar suburbs made possible by a rail line running up Connecticut Avenue from downtown DC In a few short years, a pastoral farmland was transformed into comfortable homes with front yards, sidewalks and a short distance to local shops and one of the areas first silent movie theaters. Today its residents still work in official Washington or nearby Bethesda, are politically engaged and cherish their neighborhood’s small town feel.
Deer and other wildlife often wander into back yards from neighboring Rock Creek Park, which provides easy access for bike rides, hiking, jogging and even horseback riding.
The commercial strip along Connecticut – affectionately called “The Avenue” – consists almost entirely of local businesses catering to residents.
The Avalon Theatre and other quaint businesses along The Avenue feel like a pleasant throwback to earlier days.
Some of the creative new establishments catering to the neighborhood’s good taste provide a comfortable home away from home.
